Whole-body 3D kinematics of freely behaving Drosophila

Seven high-speed cameras, a hybrid 2D/3D network and body-model inverse kinematics track 50 keypoints on freely moving flies; height and speed peak together at all running speeds.

Assessment of adult structural plasticity in Drosophila neurons

This study assesses adult structural plasticity in Drosophila neurons by examining remodeling processes and introducing a tool to measure complexity without observer bias.

Neural control of respiration in Drosophila

The paper identifies neural circuits in Drosophila that link respiration to flight and hydration, showing how spiracle control is modulated by both locomotion and internal state.

Adapting Upright Light Sheet Fluorescence Microscopy for Imaging at Air-Liquid Interface

This paper presents a device for adapting upright light sheet fluorescence microscopy to image samples at air-liquid interface, demonstrating its use on three biological specimens.

Daily ultrastructural remodeling of clock neurons

The paper examines daily structural changes in Drosophila clock neurons using SBEM, revealing rhythmic variations in morphology, synaptic markers, and mitochondrial structure.

Single Objective Light Sheet Microscopy allows high-resolution in vivo brain imaging of Drosophila.

This paper introduces a single objective light-sheet microscope for high-resolution in vivo brain imaging in Drosophila, achieving improved resolution and reduced photobleaching and phototoxicity.

Mating disrupts morning anticipation in Drosophila melanogaster females 2

This study shows that mating in Drosophila females disrupts their ability to anticipate the night-day transition, mediated by sex peptide acting on PPK+ neurons and affecting PDF levels.
